Stump grinder teeth sharpening & re-tipping

[dan494]

Depends on your technique. I find they work OK with a bit of practice and are essential for 13hp machines, little and often! Got a rayco rg20 with greenteeth now and that was still blasting through stumps when dull last week so won't be bothering to sharpen the teeth with a grinder like had to before every stump with my rock machinery one

I found those diamond discs pretty ineffective and hard work.

 

I used a normal disc for the steel & touched up all 12 teeth in about 20 minutes. Doesn't look too pretty but today was only it's second outing, on a stump that was twice the size of the first one & took me about the same time (not including tea, chatting & clearing the area) I got as close to 30 degrees as I could, think I'd get a better finish & longer tooth life with a bench grinder though.

Still have it, had a couple of jobs like this one my new grinder would have been too big for. Don't like using it much cos an hour with the small one is 10 minutes with the rayco!

He yeah. Massive difference! Still can't fault the little machine for what it costs but I've only used the rayco for under 2 hours actual grinding time and that's bought it around £700 so much better money earner
